Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21

Concerning Almsgiving

6Beware of practising your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2 So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
3But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.*

Concerning Prayer

5 And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
6But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.*

Concerning Fasting

16 And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
17But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,
18so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.*

Concerning Treasures

19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust* consume and where thieves break in and steal;
20but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust* consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
